Summary:

The string family comes to life as students learn about the violin, viola, cello, and double bass, and see how they work. (The guitar, harp, and fiddle are also covered.) Students will be introduced to the greatest of all violin makers, Antonio Stradivari, and the brilliant composer and violinist Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, among others. Vocabulary words to watch for include fingerboard, bridge, sound holes, resonate, bow, resin, and pizzicato. Across-the-curriculum activities included in the expanded Teacher's Guide are tied to National Music Standards and designed to extend the video's educational value.
